  • For added protein, sauté tofu with mushrooms before adding noodles and vegetables.
  • Precooking noodles separately and adding them last with herbs can simplify the cooking process.
  • Fish sauce can be substituted with a mixture of soy sauce, molasses, lemon juice, and mushroom powder for a vegan alternative.
